...for rooting plumeria cuttings, and everyone should have one! Cuttings can rot easily in cold damp soil even if the soil is warm in the day time. In the summertime, you can get by without one because the hot cement, concrete, or gravel substitutes nicely, but in fall, winter, and spring, bottom heat is essential for rooting plumeria cuttings. The potting soil should be at 80 degrees or higher for rooting a plumeria cutting. A soil thermometer can also be purchased for less than $20 and will help ensure that your soil is the right temperature for rooting. Some people even use a used water bed heater as a substitute for a heat mat. Seeds and seedlings are also happy on a nice warm surface.
My friend Roger over at PlumeriaPals posted this information, and I'm going to re-post it here. Also, two other links are also listed for heat mats and accessories.
